Traditional Strip Method Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT)
In the hands of an experienced surgeon, the traditional strip method of surgery can lead to excellent natural results. Dr. Ross has performed thousands of surgeries with millions of grafts and attains excellent results with this method. With a FUT procedure, a strip of tissue is removed from the back of the head, which is subsequently dissected under microscopes into single follicles for the transplantation.
Pros:

- Lowest cost per graft
- No additional donor shaving
Cons:
- More invasive surgery is sore for a period of timeafterwards
- Linear scar in back (hidden by existing hair)
